unbent
(I came alone and you don't know
it yet, but that's how I'm going)
I'll drop you like a spent fix
because I know
there's barely a bridge that exists
which can stand the span
all time and space will inhabit
once we're separated.
So you'll never have to question why
just close the door behind
me--don't watch-- as I
disappear before you down
the rolling curvature of horizon
and remember I told you
I travel lightly along
with the setting sun.

Hello...
Thanks, Raj..I'm glad you picked up on those final lines--they were the most special to me, too.
And David...it is a goodbye note, that's true. I find that it's a rare occurrence to encounter any interpersonal relationship that can stand the test of distance and time. Personal circumstances can change so rapidly that, mostly, I find it to be more graceful to forego the complication of trying to maintain communication by simply letting go. But, then, I am thankful for the rare exception to this personal rule.
Hey, Keith...thank you, kind sir. I always appreciate you reading.
And, yes, quite right, Stu--almost like moving against the setting of the sun. Very clever how you put that together.
Such kind comments...take good care, all...
